I feel your pain... I'm in the middle of a gout attack right now!

@rootfish99 Oh boy. I hope you feel better soon. I don't even want my enemy to have an acute attack of gout! Did you try the black cherry juice? It worked for me.

@kimbhut65 I have been drinking cranberry juice and cherry juice. I finally got some indomethacin and can start feeling better!

[kimbhut65]

@rootfish99 Good. You have to watch your diet to prevent future acute attacks. Please talk to your doctor or nutritionist about what to avoid. You don't want another acute attack.

I am a newbie to gout and I'm 35. I tried every remedy this past week from Apple Cider Vinegar to Cherry Juice and none of them helped me. I don't know why people on here and on the internet say it works it doesn't. I gave in and went to the doctor and got these pill Indomethacin. Day 1 so far, let's hope this works.

@IamLopan Medicine is not mathematics, my friend. A remedy might work for some people, not work for others! Indomethacine did not work for me though it was once considered the drug of choice for acute gout. But lifestyle change such as not eating and drinking certain things, weight reduction, and regular exercise does help in the long run - meaning reduces the severity and frequency of future acute attacks. Follow your doctor's advice. Good luck.

@kimbhut65 Yeah I have not been taking care of myself like I should lately. Thanks for the advice!

@IamLopan I love it! Everyone gets so confused by gout and, personally, I think the powers that be like it that way. The problem is OVERALL acidity - it's not just the uric acid. Get the book Alkalize or Die and you will start to get the picture. I ate handful of ibuprofen on top of indomethacin and colchicine and it still took days to get over some of my gout attacks. Alkalize or Die brother . . . or get a hefty meat cleaver.

i woke up the other day and my toe was so sore i thought maybe i kicked the wall accidentally in the middle of the night then to my surprise i could not walk the next day.

then it affected my other foot in the following days i could not sleep and laid there in excrusiating pain i would not wish this even upon my worst nemesis.

[ClinicalStudies]

Hi everyone, my name is Justin and I wanted to give you some information about a research study for people who have had 2 or more gout attacks in the past year. If you qualify and consent to take part, the study team will evaluate your gout to optimize your long-term treatment. Everyone who takes part in the study will be asked to take gout medications, including allopurinol, with the study sponsor reimbursing the costs of these medicines. goutstudy com
